The Use of the Overmolding Technique for the Preparation of Basalt Fiber (BF)-Based Composite, the Comparative Study of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Polycarbonate-PET/PC and Poly(butylene terephthalate)-PBT/PC Blends.

ABSTRACT: The presented study is focused on the evaluation of the mechanical and heat resistance performance of the polyester-based injection-molded components. For comparative purposes, we used a poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blend (PET/PC) and a poly(butylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate (PBT/PC) mixture, where both types of polymer blends were used as a matrix for different types of basalt fiber (BF)-reinforced composites. The investigated molding procedure consists of injection overmolding of the composite prepreg (insert). During the technological procedure, various material configurations were used, including overmolding with both unmodified blends and a composition with additional short basalt fibers. The results confirmed that the best balance of properties was obtained for comp
